The most special apple I have ever held. It was many years (probably ~9) in the making. Turns out it is possible to grow an apple tree from seed and get apples 😍.

Back at Nikhef Amsterdam after working in/from other places for a few weeks. Feels a bit like coming home (hope my plants are still alive 😬).

Impression of a workshop during the general meeting of the Einstein Telescope Organisation (ETO) this week. Look at these colleagues + friendly guests to keep us sharp, with their brains buzzing over an article for a (semi-internal) newsletter we are setting up. #einsteintelescope

It was a good day, full of useful meetings and sessions. Now it's time to unwind. (Working on further building the #einsteintelescope Organisation (ETO) during our general meeting at Elba this week)

On board for several days of Einstein Telescope Organisation building. (It seems Elba is kind of the Italian equivalent of Terschelling) #einsteintelescope

Oh lovely apple blosssom! Planted my grown-from-seed apple tree in the ground last autumn and it looks like it's happy with its spot.

To be honest, when we started greening up our garden (#NKtegelwippen) we mainly had plants in mind. But these beautiful little mushrooms are cool as well!

The work year starts, an early alarm, and towards the station I go.
What's that, no trains? Settle down, grab a coffee. Work can wait an hour longer or so.

First (and main) task of the day completed: resisting the urge to decorate Nikhef's giant Christmas tree with leftover Einstein Telescope Organisation (ETO) stars. May be that ribbon was for me ...
